Adamu Abubakar, the eldest son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has, finally, parted ways with the peoples Democratic party PDP.
The Source reports that Adamu, the immediate past Commissioner for Works, had refused to join his Principal, the Adamawa State Governor, and other members of the Executive Council in defecting to the All Progressive Congress, APC, on February 27, 2026.
He had, instead, preferred to relinquish his juicy position as the Adamawa State Commissioner for Works.
However, in a letter posted on his Facebook page dated March 4, 2026, and addressed to the Jada 1 PDP Ward Chairman, Adamu announced his resignation from the Party on which platform his father, had risen to the position of Nigeria’s number two citizen 27 years ago.
His resignation, he said, is with immediate effect.
Adamu whose membership of the once political behemouth spanned about 27 years appreciated the now beleaguered PDP for offering him the opportunity to serve the people in different capacities.
“My journey with the Peoples Democratic party, PDP ends here. I sincerely thank the Party for the opportunities and experiences I was privileged to have during my time as a member.
“I hereby, formally, resign my membership of the PDP at Jada 1 Ward with immediate effect”, he stated.
Although his destination was not made known, there are growing speculations linking him to the Adamawa State gubernatorial contest on the platform of the opposition Coalition platform, the African Democratic Congress, in 2027.
His father, Atiku Abubakar, apart from being one of the prominent founding figures of the opposition Coalition, is also one of its front line Presidential aspirants, alongside Peter Obi ,and Rotimi Amaechi.
